Culturally Relevant Mathematics-CLRT in Secondary Extended Mathematics
Whatever you see in a child is what you will produce – “I don’t
become what I think I can; I don’t become what you think I can; I become what I think YOU THINK I can.”
"Educational researchers have proven time and again that culturally responsive teaching methods increase student achievement. So if our teaching is not culturally relevant, then we as educators are not relevant."

OUTCOMES: Develop an initial understanding of two area of
CLRT Practice CLRT techniques Analyze classroom vignettes with a CLRT lens Reflect on student engagement with a CLRT lens
regarding Extended Math Classrooms at MS Collaboratively plan a CLRT lesson for Extended
Math Leave with a renewed sense of hope. Be willing to take a risk. Use the session contents to take away something
to try the very next day..
THREE PREMISES TO PONDER…
~Premise One- Focus on classroom management school of thought and style-Is your current system working?
~Premise Two- Focus on cultural behaviors-Is it misbehavior or cultural behavior?
~Premise Three- Focus on instruction- Is the best lesson plan an engaging culturally relevant and responsive lesson?

CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY RESPONSIVE TEACHING From The Center for Culturally and Linguistically
Responsive Teaching CLR is the validation and affirmation of the home
(indigenous) culture and home language for the purposes of building and bridging the student to success in the culture of academia and mainstream society.

WISCONSIN'S VISION FOR RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION
CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE PRACTICES
Include the degree to which a school’s programs, practices, procedures, and policies account for and adapt to the broad diversity of its students’ race, language, and culture.

WHAT DOES RELEVANT MEAN?
Relevant is Having a connection to your life and the way that you learn
When teachers are relevant-
Students are engaged.
Think-Pair-ShareHow will we connect students to
mathematics? How will we change that data?

CLASSROOM SCENARIOS
Musical Shares Description:
Teacher poses a question and turns on the music. Students move or dance around the classroom until music is off. Students discuss the question with whoever they are closest to.
Why use it? To incorporate music and
movement with the opportunity to share ideas.
Best Used Reviewing, summarizing or
clarifying information Sharing journal entries
When you hear the music move around the room.
SCENARIO #1
Scenario 1: A student is continuously blurting out during the mini-lesson section of math class. The student is responding to the content of the lesson and sharing personal examples related to the content. The student has been given several redirects by the teacher and the classroom support staff to stop blurting. The student continues to blurt out during the lecture, inciting other students to began to talk while the lecture continues. The teachers asks the class to quiet down and then asks the student to leave the room for disrupting the class and not following directions.
SCENARIO #2Scenario 2: Students have been in class for 30 min. and one student has left their seat and started to wander the classroom. The student has not completed the assigned work. As they are wandering they are stopping to talk with other students. The student is asked by the adult to return to their seat, and get back to work. The student “snaps” back at the adult and says “I’m working, I’m asking her about a question!” The teacher tells the student to “watch their tone, and not to raise their voice, and to return to their seat.” The student did not return to their seat and lingered near the other students desk. The adult then directed the student to return to their seat or leave the room. The student replies “fine I hate this class!” The teacher sends the student out of the room.
SCENARIO #3Scenario 3: Students are outside during lunch and are witnessed shoving each other. A supervisor intervenes and asks the students to stop. The students continue to go after one another after more adults arrive. The students are asked to go to the office.
SCENARIO #4Scenario 4: During independent work time in math class a student is refusing to do the assigned task. The teacher has asked the student to take out their work several times, first with a non-verbal redirect. The student does not respond and still refuses to complete the task.The teacher uses proximity and stand near the students desk in silence. The student still refuses. The teacher asked to the student once more. The student still refuses and is asked to leave the room.

Whatever it takes!!!!
The educational system in America is left brain dominant based and the entire scope of the learning process favors the left brain dominant learner

WHAT SHOULD TEACHERS DO?
EMBEDDING THE CULTURAL PRECEPTS INTO A MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE STRUCTURE
Questions to ask yourself… are your mathematical tools real? do they start from what the child can do and
does know? do they offer opportunities for verbal
expression? do they allow for communal support? do they have musicality? are you considering these things intentionally
and purposefully when planning math lessons?

TEA PARTY PROTOCOL
Directions: When you hear the drum
beat walk around and greet another person with a culturally appropriate greeting for their situation
(friend, acquaintance, stranger, etc.)
With your partner dialogue about number 1 on your video reflection sheet
When you hear the drum find a new partner for number 2
(bell, drum, music off, etc).
If….. Then…Pass it with a Point
allow students to present their knowledge in a variety of ways(writing, singing, acting)
use direct and explicit vs. indirect language

• Select a quote that SPEAKS to you.• Stand and Deliver-Recite the quote and why it
SPEAKS to you.
• Participants step forward if quote vibrates their soul and states:
“this speaks to me”

How can we use the tools, skills, and perspectives presented through the CLR framework to support teachers in development equitable classroom systems.
WILL
After making a distinction between a staff's will--that is, their belief in all students' abilities along with their determination to make student learning and success a schoolwide priority and a staff's skill their use of quality, responsive methods and activities--the authors submit that healthy school cultures grow out of a marriage of the two.
